Valentina leaned back against the bench seat inside the caravan. It wasn't her preferred way to travel, but their group was too large to use faster modes of transport. In addition to Sergei, Nikolai, Yuri, and Lars, they'd brought five additional guards with them to the towers. They'd gone back and forth about which five were best suited, and Lars had offered to have each of them submit to the tower's version of a lie-detector test upon arrival. Nikolai was eager at the opportunity to get a closer look at these Omni abilities.

They'd kept their destination secret from all but the people within the caravan. Lars had made a secure transmission directly to Alec, with the express understanding their arrival needed to be kept quiet. The accompanying soldiers hadn't even been told where they were headed until they sat down in the caravan. Even so, Valentina couldn't shake the sense of foreboding that had come over her.

Nikolai wrapped his arm around her shoulder, drawing her against him. He kissed her temple and whispered, “Thank you for coming with me.”

She rested her head against him. It was impossible to stay angry at Nikolai for long. “If we don't arrive soon, I might be tempted to get out and push.”

Nikolai chuckled, giving her a slight squeeze. “We're only a few minutes away now.”

Sergei leaned forward in his seat directly across from them. He glanced at Nikolai and then back at her, his expression unreadable. “The entrance area will be mostly cleared, except for necessary personnel. Alec will be meeting us there, along with the others we discussed. Lars has agreed to act as your host. You'll be staying with him instead of in the construction tower.”

Nikolai turned to Lars. “We appreciate your generosity.”

Lars nodded. “It's the least I can do. As Valentina can attest, I have plenty of room. That portion of the towers is more secure than many others, so it should suit your needs.”

“I will be staying there as well for the duration of this trip,” Sergei said, his eyes focused on her and making his intent clear.

Valentina lowered her head, gazing up at him through her lashes. “Wouldn't you be more comfortable in your own quarters, Sergei? I am sure Nikolai, Yuri, and Lars will have everything well in hand. I do not imagine your… services will be needed.”

“I will have to provide you with a demonstration,” he replied, the faintest trace of a smile on his lips as he slowly perused her up and down. “I have many… skills that may come in handy. Besides, after spending the past several years on a hard cot, I am looking forward to enjoying a softer place to sleep.”

She made a great show of sighing. “Very well. But I must warn you, Yuri snores. I have heard many complaints from people sharing a room with him.”

Yuri grinned and stretched out his long legs in the cramped space. “Ah, Valya, if he complains, so much the better. You know I tend to kill those who cause trouble.
